A Titleist 905 Driver Review

By Tami Fisher

Specs

There are two models of the Titleist 905 drivers, the 905T and the 905S, and they can be purchased with degrees of loft ranging from 7.5 degrees to 11.5 degrees. In these models, the center of gravity is lowered, which helps provide additional distance. These drivers produce a higher ball trajectory, which generates more spin along with added yardage. A number of shafts can be paired with these clubs. It is left up to the individual which shaft option best suits them.

Perks

The added distance on each drive because of the lowered center of gravity and the large clubhead was excellent. Even when the ball isn't hit squarely on the face, you still gain excellent distance. Overall, the driver produced accurate shots.

Sacrifices

The driver makes a loud sound when it's hit, a fact that might distract or annoy some golfers after a few holes. Also, at around $400, this driver is quite expensive.

Bottom Line

Though the accuracy and distance of this driver were incredible, the noise it made when the ball was struck was incredibly annoying. A number of other drivers produce similar results for much less money.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Using Frequency to Test the Flex of Your Shafts
by Jeff Jackson
What's the flex of your shafts? At one time, a golfer could safely answer that his or her shafts were stiff, regular or ladies flex. That simply isn't the case any longer. Most manufacturers have their own method of shaft measurement. What this means is that one company's "R" flex shaft may actually be softer than another's "A" or even "L" flex. How, then, can a golfer select the appropriate shaft if no manufacturing standard exists? In a word: frequency.
